In the present study, the main goals were to infer the phylogeny of this subfamily focusing on Paepalanthus, to evaluate recent classifica- tions and morphological characters in a phylogenetic context and to reconstruct the historical biogeography of the group. Sampling involved 94 ingroup species corresponding to all recognized genera and three outgroup species. Two molecular data sets, nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (nrITS) and plastid trnL-trnF, were analysed under parsimony and Bayesian methods. Rondonanthus is monophyletic and confirmed as sister to the remaining Paepalanthoideae. Leiothrix and Actinocephalus are each monophyletic, whereas Syngonanthus may be either monophyletic or paraphyletic with the recognition of Philodice. Four subgenera of Paepalanthus are monophyletic, but P. subgenus Paepalanthus is polyphyletic. Morphological characters used in previous classifi- cations are assessed as putative synapomorphies for recognized genera. Some of the characters employed in defining Paepalanthus subcategories appear to have evolved multiple times, and many clades may be exclusively defined by molecular synapomorphies. Biogeographical reconstructions suggest that the current distribution patterns may be related to vicariance and a few long-distance dispersal events. Furthermore, some clades are restricted to narrow geographical areas, perhaps important as a means of conserving evolutionary processes. © 2012 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2013, 171, 225–243.

  • VESSELS in ERIOCAULACEAE By
    IAWA Journ al, Vol. 17 (2), 1996: 183-204 VESSELS IN ERIOCAULACEAE by Jennifer A. Thorsch & Vernon I. Cheadle I Department of Ecology, Evolution and Marine Biology, University of California, Santa Barbara, CA 93 106, U.S.A. SUMMARY The occ urrence and level of specialization of vesse ls in 70 species representing 12 genera of Eriocaulaceae are presented. In alI species of Eriocaulaceae and in alI parts of the plant examined, vessels with simple perforations have been identified . Correlations between level of specia­ lization of vessel members and ecological conditi ons are reported for species from diverse habitats and species with distinct differences in habit. The pattern of origin and specialization of tracheary celIs in Erio­ caulaceae was compared to tracheary data for Xyridaceae , Rapateaceae, Restionaceae and Centrolepidaceae. The evolutionary position of these families has been regarded as close to Eriocaulaceae. Key words: Eriocaulaceae, vessels, perforation plates, phylogenetic posi­ tion. INTRODUCTION This paper provides detailed information about perforation plates of vessels in Erio­ caulaceae, the 29th family we have similarly examined in monocotyledons. The near­ ly complete list of families analyzed in detail is given in the literature cited in the paper on Commelinales (Cheadle & Kosakai 1980). Our studies on the tracheary elements in monocotyledons have included families and species from a broad range of habits, habitats and geographical sites around the world. Families for study were selected based on three criteria: I) presence of alI plant parts, 2) variety of habits and habitats, and 3) broad representation of the species within the family. The data on tracheids and vessels from these broadly based studies led to the folIowing brief conclusions.

Borges,1,5 & Cássio van den Berg1 Abstract The pantropical family Eriocaulaceae includes ten genera and c. 1,400 species, with diversity concentrated in the New World. The last complete revision of the family was published more than 100 years ago, and until recently the generic and infrageneric relationships were poorly resolved. However, a multi-disciplinary approach over the last 30 years, using morphological and anatomical characters, has been supplemented with additional data from palynology, chemistry, embryology, population genetics, cytology and, more recently, molecular phylogenetic studies. This led to a reassessment of phylogenetic relationships within the family. In this paper we present new data for the ITS and trnL-F regions, analysed separately and in combination, using maximum parsimony and Bayesian inference. The data confirm previous results, and show that many characters traditionally used for differentiating and circumscribing the genera within the family are homoplasious. A new generic key with characters from various sources and reflecting the current taxonomic changes is presented. Key words: anatomy, ITS, phylogenetics, pollen, trnL-trnF. Resumo Eriocaulaceae é uma família pantropical com dez gêneros e cerca de 1.400 espécies, com centro de diversidade no Novo Mundo, especialmente no Brasil.

  • Abstract an Examination of Possible Carnivory in Silene
    ABSTRACT AN EXAMINATION OF POSSIBLE CARNIVORY IN SILENE REGIA, A MEMBER OF THE CARYOPHYLLACEAE by Garrett John Dienno Silene regia, commonly known as Royal Catchfly, a member of the Caryophyllaceae, is known to ensnare small insects with its glandular trichomes. This morphological adaptation is primarily thought to deter herbivory, but it has been speculated that S. regia may also be carnivorous. To demonstrate that S. regia is carnivorous the following objectives must be shown: S. regia can attract, capture, and retain prey; secrete proteinases to facilitate nutrient absorption; and absorb/translocate the resultant nutrients. This study addressed the first two of these objectives through field observations, UV photography, SEM imaging, and a series of experiments designed to examine a capture- induced proteinase response. While S. regia was able to ensnare insects and possessed highly specialized morphological structures for doing so a form of active attractant could not be demonstrated, and as such failed to support the first objective in its entirety. Negative test results for a capture-induced proteinase response failed to support the second objective. As both objectives were unsupported it was concluded that S. regia is not carnivorous.

A method based on HPLC-DAD was developed and validated for detecting and quantifying flavonoids in hydroethanolic extracts. The flavonoids identified and quantified in the extract were 6,7-dimethoxyquercetin- 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (1), 6-hydroxy-7-methoxyquercetin-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (2), and 6-methoxyquercetin-3-O-β-D- glucopyranoside (3). The developed method presented good validation parameters, showing that the results obtained are consistent and can be used in ensuring the quantification of these constituents in the extracts. Compounds 2 and 3 showed strong antiradical activity when compared with the positive controls (quercetin and gallic acid).

Este estudo avaliou as espécies de formigas visitantes de inflorescências de Actinocephalus polyanthus em dunas costeiras no sul do Brasil e verificou se a riqueza e composição das assembleias visitantes diferiam entre as fenofases de floração feminina e masculina, em função da maior oferta de recurso por flores masculinas. Observações sobre o recurso utilizado e o comportamento de visita foram também investigados. Foram encontradas 15 espécies de formigas, pertencentes a oito gêneros de quatro subfamílias. Não houve diferença em relação à riqueza e diversidade de visitantes associadas à fenofase de floração masculina ou feminina. Entretanto, houve diferença em relação à similaridade dessas assembleias, em função da maior ocorrência de Camponotus fastigatus na floração feminina. A maioria das espécies registradas pertence a gêneros que, normalmente, utilizam néctar floral e extrafloral como recurso alimentar ou são generalistas.Brachymyrmex sp.1, Camponotus fastigatus e Dorymyrmex sp.
